City Year
City Year is an organization that allows 17-23 year olds from diverse backgrounds
to perform community service for 10 months. In exchange, they receive a living
stipend, an educational grant and the experience of a lifetime. We have 10 city
year members at McCants. They serve as teacher and library assistants, monitor
an "After School Program", walk children home, assist with assemblies. They do
whatever needs doing to help McCants and its students.
Mentors
Mentors are caring adults who have volunteered to give at least one hour per week
to develop a one-on-one relationship with a student. Not only do they help by
tutoring, but also mentors serve as friends, big brothers, big sisters, role models,
and support persons. This program and its progress is monitored by a school committee.
